ABSTRACT:
Plants are repotted by moving a rootball from a first rootball container to a second rootball container using a planting head. The planting head has legs with pins which may be in a first retracted position or in a second extended position.In a first step the planting head is brought above the rootball surface.In a second step the distance of the distal ends of the legs to the central axis of the planting head is reduced.In a third step the pins are inserted into the rootball.In a fourth step the distal ends of the legs are brought closer together.Then the rootball is taken out of the first rootball container and deposited into the second rootball container. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
